[quote=Anonymous]Here the thing. However you personally define assault, if there is one thing the Amazon bid process (and sitting in some of the worst traffic in the country) has shown us, its that we need a functioning metro system in the DMV— that most people feel safe using. Including women commuting to work, pregnant women, families with kids, and older adults. Parents should also feel comfortable with sending teens on metro.

No, you don’t put up with it unless you are hospitalized.

No, you don’t just “give them your money” so they will go away.

We all pay for metro, and we all share metro, and it needs to be a safe, efficient way for everyone to commute. Otherwise, there is no point in pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into it.

Maybe we need a car or cars dedicated to high school kid school on the lines they use during school commute. Put them all in 1-2 cars and put some metro police in with them.  Maybe we need to be more aggressive about banning troublemakers. We definitely need to beef up metro police presence in cars.  Maybe get metro police out of their cars out from in the burbs.

Kids on metro need to follow the rules.  If they can’t, the shouldn’t be riding  Suburban kids— white, brown and black—  ride school buses knowing they need to stay in their seats, use headphones with music, not yell, not start fights, etc., or face disciplinary consequences, up to and including being kicked off the bus. I’m baffled as to why kids who use metro to commute to school can’t be held to the same standards. [/quote]
